Lagos State Governor, BABAJIDE SANWO-OLU has directed the contractor handling the Red Rail Line project to deliver the job by December 2023.

Governor SANWO-OLU gave the directive when he led some members of the State Executive Council on an inspection tour of infrastructure components of the ongoing construction of Red Rail Line projects across stations.

At the inspection, the Governor also announced that the much-expected inauguration of Yaba and Ikeja-Along Flyovers, a Red Rail Line project component, would be opened to vehicular movement next month.

While the red rail line has eight major stations – Agbado, Iju, Agege, Ikeja, Mushin, Yaba, Ebute Metta and Iddo/Oyingbo, the trains will use the tracks built by the Federal Government. 

It will take a minimum of 1,000 passengers per ride when in full operation.
